SECOND BEST


Limpid blue pools to fall into
A soft landing to sucker the fey
A heart that’s as closed as a solid steel safe
Do I dare love you?
No way

You love an idea that you’ve encountered
A belief in the things you deserve
And I’m certain that when you compare us
I emerge as a good first reserve

You use comforting arms to entrap me
And soft words to confuse who I am
But none of it’s worth a world full of tears
Because ‘frankly my dear,
you don’t give a damn’

I'm a writer, public speaker, medium, and spiritual thinker. I suffered from acute anxiety from the age of 16 until I was well into my 50s, when I finally found methods that helped me to put it behind me. My struggles led to me exploring life through poetry, then plays, and over a 15 year period I made notes for a self help book which I published in 2015. Details on the book page. Although I am a psychic medium and loved the work, it didn’t feel right for me. It was an utter privilege, but my path was the exploration of what it means to be spirit in the real world and how we can make practical use of those abilities. Nowadays I write, blog, and teach soul-centred living, which is a gentle way of undoing past programming and connecting to your essential self, or soul. If you’re interested email me and we can chat. No pressure, it’s right for you or it’s not and you will know. The groups meet on line so no going out on cold, wet, winter’s evenings. On a personal note, I’m based in the UK. Married with five cats, no children, and four grandchildren, thanks to our inherited daughter, who has gifted us four beautiful little people that bring us such joy. Hope you enjoy the blogs. Deb xx
